what does art


some art might tell you
this is what is
or this is how it is

some might be more concerned
with 
this is what it isn't
or
what is this

regardless of the type
or the form
or the style
i like to ask myself

what does it do 
to me
in me

not 
what is art

no...

what does art
or 
what art does

it may be a mistake
to think of ourselves 
as nouns

I could so see the second stanza lines saying 'ain't' as replacement for isn't, more a language thing...

Yes, Richard is right...welcome back Kotter!
